Taste your guacamole as you're making it. Avocados can take a fair amount of lime juice and cilantro, but since both of these ingredients can vary in strength, it's a good idea to taste as you go.Serves four to six.
ingredients
2 medium-size ripe avocados
2 to 3 Tbs. fresh lime juice
3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more to taste
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
Pinch ground cumin
3 to 4 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp. minced fresh jalapeño
how to make
Halve the avocados, pit them, and scoop the flesh with a large spoon into a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle the 2 Tbs. lime juice over the avocados, add the salt, coriander, and cumin, and use a wooden spoon to break up the avocados, stirring until they're coarsely mashed. Stir in 3 Tbs. of the cilantro and the jalapeño. Taste and add more lime juice, cilantro, and salt as needed. Transfer to a small serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips.
